The feeling OF relief in tie public mind
since the Supreme Court Of Illinois az
lirmed the sentence Of the Chicago an
archsts is noticeable. The long delay of
the court ia coming to- conclusion had
encouraged Il suspicion that the court was
divided in opinion and that the CON
demned anarchists might escape the pun
ishment of their crime. IL was felt that
this would encourage the lawless element
in the larger cities and lead to repeti-
ton of rioting and bloOdShed at 20 dis
tant day. But the court finds no cause 10
reverse or delay the sentence of the lower
court. The anarchists have no one to
blame but themselves for the condition
i'll which they now find themselves. 1t
is not likely that any considerable delay
in the execution of their sentence can
be secured by their counsel aud their
late Will serve as Il warning to that pur-
ton of our foreign born population who
seem to think hat the United States is Il
fit place IN which to show their hatred of
all forms of government. 1t is high time
that this Impression was done awEy with {:
and there could, of course, be no more
forcible way to bring this about than by
an example of these reckless and
lawless men, who attempted to put their
theories into practice in Chicago

civil Service Commissioner Edgerton
adheres to his position in the Chicago case
that subordinates can be removed without
specified cause attacks the various civil
service reform organizations in different
cities as political organizations" design
ed for political effect" and says of him
self and his brother commissioners "The
commissioners are simply onlookers.
There is no punishment provided under
the law for violation of its provisions,
except removal by the president. There
has been no case where the president has
removed a person as a result Of any inves-
tlgation by the commission This can
not be gainsaid; and yet there are indie
pendents who still stick to Mr.. Cleveland
as a civil service reformer.

Our new minister to Russia, Mr.. Lo-
throp, has made study of the government
and people there and the results which he
gives to the public are very different from
much of the information we have hitherto
obtained through English hands. Mr..
Lothrop contradicts the assertion that
nihilism is widely pervading the people ;
and that their condition is one of unrest
and unhappiness. He represents the
people of Russia as generally contented
and denies that the car is always in dan
ger from the disloyalty of mis- people. This
is different state of affairs from that
commonly reported, hut Mr.. Lothrop has
no reason to be other than impartial in
the matter and his testimony ought tc
